Get the look at me generation mug.The generation of people who grew up during the information boom of the 1990's. Usually they are described as the net generation.

Get the Transition Generation mug.William Straus and Neil Howe's clustering of millennials based on birth years, the generational classification was referred to as Generation Y, and muddled the fair representation of those who experienced their adolescence and cognitive-development years in step with the nascent phase of home-based Internet access technology.
While often lumped together with millennials (as defined by Straus and Howe), the developmental phase of social interaction, which involved information technology's burgeoning impact on society, was overlooked. Generation Y represented the crossroads between millennials who were well immersed in computer technology even as far as experiencing an institutionalization of computer education in academic curricula and Generation X members who were heavily immersed in broadcast media's influence and yet largely uninitiated in computer technology. Generation Y represents the link between the non-digital age society shaped by Generation X, as adolescents (MTV Generation), and the dawn of the Internet age that saw the transitioning of society to easily accessible online communities (Bulletin board system, MIRC, Yahoo! Groups, Internet forum) especially during the introduction of dial-up Internet access to households.
Gen Y entangled pop culture and digital community-building through bulletin board systems, online forums, website mailing groups, mIRC, ICQ, and other electronic modes of communication (predecessors to social media) into today's digital age.

The Millennial Generation definition is wrong. Generation Y members are completely distinct in upbringing and in their world views from Generation Z.

Get the Millennial Generation mug.A generation of migrants getting naturalized, that are used to bring in people of their own country into a new country.
What causes these immigrant waves, and economical problems?
Most of them are because of an anchor generation. A mom and dad get accepted, and let their son or daughter only marry a partner of their home country. Quite often also used to get their whole family migrated.
Ok, but that would be only one family, can't do no harm right?
It would do no harm if they would not breed 12 children, each marrying people of their own country, breeding more of their own race.
An anchor generation would not be called an anchor generation if the generation following would intermingle and take up the culture and society of the new country instead of living their own.
